To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that we, JOHN DEY and ALEXANDER DEY, residing at Syracuse,in the county Vof Ononda a and State of New York, have invente certainnew and useful Improvements in Workmens Time- .Recorders, of which thefollowing is a full,

clear,and exact descri tion, such as will enable others skilled in t eart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates broadly to time recorders although certainfeatures thereof are of value in other relations.

One of the `ob`eots thereof is to provide ereby clockwork is adaptedintermittentlyT to actuate a member without abnormally burdening thesame at the time of actuation.

Another object is to provide means of simple and efficient constructionand ready manipulation for the manual actuation of a time recorder. v

Another object is to provide practical and accurately acting means, bothmanually and automatically actuated for placing a record card in thedesired position relative to printing mechanism. l

Another ob'ect is to provide means in a time recorder casin adapted torender the same substantiay dust proof and yet permit ready access tothe parts inclosed.

Another object is to provide means in connection with time recorders forpreventing false registration.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in rpart pointed outhereinafter.-

he invention accordingly consists in the features of construction,combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which lwill beexemplified in the apparatus and devices hereinafter described and thescope of thel ap lication of which will be indicated in the follbwingclaims.

In the accom anying drawin's, wherein is shown oneof) various possibeembodiments of the several features of our invention, Figure l is asectional elevation of the same. Fig. 2 is a similar view of certainparts appearing in Fig.'1y shown on a larger scale and isolated from thesurrounding mechanism. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing certain partsappearing in Fig. 2 in a slightly different position. Fig. 4 is a planof certain parts shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a sec- I' Fig. Sis aperspective view of with. Fig. 7 is a similar view of certain partsco-acting with the -card receiver in positioning the card. Figs. 8 to 10are simiar views of certain parts shown in Fig. 7, the same being shownat different stages of the operation of this device. Fig. `11 isa planof certain parts shown in ^12is an elevation of the free end ing ylevertogether With the arts co-acting therewith. Fig. 13 is a similar viewshowing the same parts in another position.

Similar reference characters refer to the same parts throughout theseveral views.

As conducing to a better understandingof certain features of ourinvention, it may here be noted that in clock-driven mechanism now ingeneral use in which parts are intermittently actuated, an abnormalburden is laid von the clockwork at the time of said actuation, thusrenderin it necessar ter to be suicientFy heavy andY powerful to drivethese parts, even Athough such actuation occupy but a minute fraction ofthe total time during which the clockwork is in operation. Thisnecessitates heavier parts, with a consequent expenditure of materialand waste of space, than would be necessary if the work required of theclock were more uniformly distributed. It may also here be noted that intime recorders it is of considerable importance that themanually-actuated parts be readily and quickly manipulated withoutinterfering with t e convenient opening of the casing in such manner asto glve access to all parts of the recorder.. It may also be noted atthis point that if it be attempted to position a record card relative tothe printing mechanism in such a loosely held condition as readily tobeinserted and removed from the card receiver, the alinement of theimpressions received thereon is poor. Another feature of interest atthis point is that with the use of a flexibly driven printing wheel itis sometimes possible for the workman or other user of the instrument4to so cause the printing wheel to swing as to result in a falseregistration of the time. The above and other defects are eliminated andmany advantages attained in constructions of the nature of. thathereinafter described.

for the lat# Fig. 6,.- Fig. of an actuatinstrument.

Fig. 1 a casin 1 through which projects a hand-lever 2 plvoted/at 3 tothe frame of the This lever is provided with a hand rest 4 pivotedthereto and passes through a plate 5 best shown in Fig. 13 of thedrawings. Beneath this' plate, which -is slotted as shown at 6 to permita free movement of the lever 2, is what may be termed a shutter7 7secured to the plate by means of pins 8y and 9 passing through theinclined slots 10 and 11 in sai shutter. Shutter 7 is rovided with aprojecting portion 12 extendlng across the s ot vand having an inclinedlower edge 13, and beneath this portion is a recess 14 bounded upon itslower side by .the

Lever 2 is normally by means hereinafter described, and occupies theposition shown in Fig. 12 of the drawingls by reason of its enagementwith the inc ined edge of the pro- ]ectin portion 12, thus raisin theshutter and t rowing the same latera ly, owing to inclined edge 15.pressed upwardly,

the inclined conformation of slots 10 and 11.

other foreigl-p Theopening within the plate 5 is thus closed about thelever 2 with the latter in its normal position, preventing the entry ofdust, dirt or matter. A free downward movement, Wever, is vpermitted thelever as upon pressing the same in such direction it engages theinclined edge 15 and throws ythe shutter downwardly and laterally, asshown in Fig. 13 of the drawings. Upon the lever being released,however, it again assumes the osition shown on Fig. 12 with the shutter7 c osing the slot 6.

Lever 2, which is preferably of bell crank form',- is connected as bythe slot 16 and screw 17 with an arm 18 fast upon a rock shaft 19journaled upon the frame of the instrument. As the lever is depressedthe rock shaft 19 is thus oscillated in its bearings, a com arativelyslight angular movement of the ever corresponding with a considerablerocking of the shaft owin to the eccentric disposition of the pivot othe former with reference to the axis of the shaft.4 Rock. shaft 19 hasfixed thereon an arm 20 connected as by a rod 21 having thereon nuts 22and spring 23 with a pressure lever v24 pivotally mounted upon the post25 and adapted to co-act with parts lhereinafter descrlbed in forcing arecording surface in contact with type bearing members and thusproducing a record on said surface.

Likewise fixed upon rock-shaft 19 is an i arm\26 normally drawn inarearward and downward direction by means of a heavy s ring 27, as shownin Fig. 1 of the drawings. his arm has pivotally mountedy thereon a rod28 for a. purpose hereinafter described.

Recurring now to Fig. 1 of the drawin s, there is shown a vertical shaft29 driven y clockwork of. any desired type and having on its lower end abevel pinion 30 meshing with ywhic ings.

a similar pinion 31 upon the shaft 32. Likewise xed upon this shaft is aspur pinion 33 driving by means of the idle gear 34 and pinions 35 agear 36, hereinafter referred to. It may here be noted that bythe termtime driven member as used throughout the following yclaims is meant anymemberdriven from clockwork or means equivalent thereto.

Gear 34 preferably intermeshes with and drives certain other mechanismbroadly denoted by the character 34a. This mechanism by which anadditional type-wheel or wheels are driven will not be described indetail as it forms no part of the present invention. Y.

Upon shaft 32 is fixed what may be termed a minute wheel 37, the samebeing provided about its circumference with aq number-of type 38,comprisin numerals ranging, in this illustrative embo iment, from 0 to59. These type are adapted'to co-act with the printing ribbon 39 mountedupon .suitable spools 40 and 41 and. fed bymechanism not herein shown asit forms in itself no part of the present invention. Minute wheel 37 ismounted upon a frame 42 is provided with a lug 43 adapted to co-act witha star wheel 44 mounted upon a shaft 45 which has fixed thereon what maybetermed an hour wheel 46 having about its circumference type bearingnumerals which range, in this illustrative embodiment of our invention,from 1 to 24. upon the shaft 45 is provided with what may be termed abrake or lock 48 pivoted at 49 and normally held against the same as bymeans vof a spring 50, the other end of which` is secured to the frame42 of the instrument. nates in an extended arm 5'1 having arectangularly bent tip 52 resting in engagement with a cam 53 formedupon minute wheel 37. Cam 53 is provided with a single depression 54 sopositioned as to be brought opposite the ti 52 at the instant ofengagement of star W eel 44 by the lug 43. ln this manner the brake 48may be thrown outwardly against the force of spring 50 by the star wheel47 as the starwheel 44 is moved by pawl 43. After this operation hastaken place, the cam 53 moves so as to bring the tip 52 upon the outerraised surface thereof, thus locking the brake 48 in engagement -withstar wheel 47 and preventing further movement of the shaft 45.

Mounted upon a pin 55 upon minute Y wheel 37 is a roller 56 adapted toco-act with what may be termed a storage lever 57, best shown in Figs.2, 3 and 4 of the draw- This lever is mounted upon the frame providedwith 42 by means of a pin 58 and is y a spring 60 an extended arm 59connected with the frame. tends to rock the lever 57 about the pivot pin58 and hold the same in its lowermost position, determined by a'stop 61.The free A second star wheel 47 xed The free end,of brake 48 termi- Thelatter member thus a reverse direction.

wheel from this position.l The hour wheel wheel 44, the roller.56 is sopositioned as to the portion 65 thereof engages the roller 5,6

y at a point eccentric to its axis, asby means end of lever 57 isoffset, as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, so as to rest within thepath of l roller 56 and the lower surface 'thereof is shapedsubstantially as shown in Fig. of the drawings. This surface comprises,I broadly, four portions, namely, a portioni 62 normally inclined towardthe path of i travel of roller 56, a portion 63 inclined away L fromsaid Hath, a third ortion 64 substani' tially para el to said pat and afourth pori tion 65 of inclination similar to the portion E 63. Theoperation of this feature of our invention is substantially as follows:Assuming that the lug 43 is approaching' the star engage the inclinedportion 62 throughout a i considerable angular distance and graduallyraise the lever 57 extending the spring 60. At the moment at' whichthe'hour wheel 46 is actuated, the roller 56 is engaged by the inclinedportion 63 of the level' and owing to 5 the sharp inclination of thisportion the spring 60 tends to propel the minute wheel in a forwarddirection, thus aidinfr the clockwork in moving the intermittentlyactuated 3 parts. The hour whcel'is thus moved so as to bein osition toprint the next succeeding hour an( any accidental or intentionaloscillation of the same so as incorrectly to print the same is preventedby the lever 57 which locks the minute wheel against movement in At oneminute past the hour, moreover, the lever is drawn further in a downwarddirection by the spring 60 and preventing any retraction of the minuteis vthus maintained in the position to which it has been moved until itis securely locked therein by the brake 48, the action of which has beenabove described. I

Positioned within the casing of the instrument is a card receiver 66,the depth within which a card or other record receiving member may beinserted being determined by a movable abutment 67, best shown in Fig. 7of the drawings. Referring now to this figure, the abutment or stop 67is shown formed upon or secured to a strap 68 adjustably clamped about a'sleeve 69 as by means of screws 70. rl'his sleeve is slidably mountedupon a guide rod 71 which in turn is mounted in 'fixed relation to thecasing of the instrument. .Secured upon sleeve 69 as by means of collars72 is a ratchet o1' rack 73 actuated by the following means. Upon'asleeve 74,. driven through gear 36, as above set forth, is a plate 75having pivotally mounted thereon of screw 76, a swinging cam member 77.The

movement of this member is limited by means'of stop pins 78 and 79 insuchV manner as with a certain direction of rotation to f cause the sameto.depend from plate 80, as i shownrin Fig. 7 of the drawings, the camin l Rock-shaft 83 is I this position resting against sto 78. Upon framemember 81 is positione a strap 82 having its ends bent so as to formbearings for a rock shaft 83 detachably held in posi.- tion as by meansof the linch pins 84 and 85. rovided at one end with an arm 86 engaged ya spring 87 coiled about the shaft and secured to the strap 82 lin suchmanner as to tend to throw the arm in an upward direction. The free endof arm 86 projects within the path of travel of the depending cam 77,assuming the same to be rotating in the direction indicated by the arrowin Fig. 7 of the drawings. The arm 86 is thus periodically depressed,causing a periodical rocking of the shaft 83. Upon the cam bei ingrotated. in the opposite direction, however, it passes over arm 86-Without moving the same, as indicated in Fig. 8 of the drawings. Theremaining end of shaft 83 terminates in a yoke 88 within which is'ournaled a bent rod 89, the free end of whic forms a pawl 90 adapted toengage the rack 73 and actuate the same, a suitable spring 91 beingprovided beneath the yoke 88 tending to throw the pawl into engagementtherewith. A holding pawl 92 is journaled Within a yoke 93 fixed uponthe strap 82, a suitable spring 94 tending to maintain this awl inlengagement with the rack. It w' l thus be seen that as shaft 83 isrocked back and forth, the pawl 90 raises the rack step by step and pawl92 holds the same in its raised position. As-

' suming the sleeve 74 to rotate once in twentyfour hours, the abutment67 is thus successively raised for a predetermined distance at the endof each such interval of time.

Likewise mounted upon frame member 81 isa standard 95 having mountedthereon a releasing member 96 normally pressed by a spring 97 in adirection away from pawls 90 and 92. This member is secured to thestandard by screws 98 and 99, the former of which passes through astraightj slot 100 and the latter of which is positioned within arectangular slot 101, as shown in Fig. 7 of the' drawings. Member 96 isprovided with inclined surfaces 102 and 103, the former of which isadapted to be engaged by a pin 104 upon the sleeve 69 ,and the latter ofwhichl is adapted. to engage the holding pawl 92. The upper end ofthereleasing member is inclined downwardly, as shown at 105 in thedrawings, and forms at the sidel adjacent pawl 90 a tooth 106 havingpositioned beo posite the cylinder front portion 113, as s own in Fig. 1of the drawings, is a window 115 of such dimensions as to expose aportion of the ou ter surfaceof cylinder. In this manner, as the sleeveis moved by the mechanism above desciibed, the cylinder 113 is turned soas to indicate the position of the abutment by the matter displayedthrough the window 115.

the member 96 into the-path of travelof the actuating pawl 90. Upon thenext downward oscillation of this pawl the same passes beneath the tooth106 and is held from cngagement with the rack by the member 96. As thepawl swings upwardly when in this position, it draws the releasingmember in a `corresponding direction and the inclined surface 103engaging the holding pawl 92 forces the same away from the rack, thuspermitting sleeve 69 withlthe parts associ-' ated therewith to fall tothe lowermost limit At, the next subseof its path of' travel. quentdownward movement'of the actuating pawl 90 the same engages theprojection 107 and forces member 96 downwardly until the screw 99 passesout of the vertic'al portion of slot 101 into which it has been movedbythe pawl.` Spring 97 then swings the releasing member out of the pathof travel of the pawls and the ratchet is again raised as previouslydescribed, The above series of o eration-s is repeated as often as isdesired,

a though in this illustrative embodiment'it.

is intended that the same occur once each Week, thus resulting in anintermittent upward movement of the abutment 67 eac-h night andthe fallof the saine throughout the whole of its path of travel at the end ofthe Week.`

Card receiver 66 comprises an outer casing 116 Within which are mountedthe card engaging members or grippers 117 and 118 having respectivelyformed thereon or secured thereto the cover lates 119 and 120. Member118 has secure thereto a suitably supported strip 121 connected as bythe strap 122 with a rack 123 slidably mounted in tie guide 124. In thismanner the card grip er 117 is moved laterally Withre'spect to t e'printing mechanism as the rack 123 however, the pin 104- -engages theinclined surface 102 throwing crank 136.

makes a corresponding movement. Rack 1'23 intermeshes with a pinion 125fixed upon a spindle 126, the upper end of which forms a disk 127rovided with a central recess 128 and a similiar recess 129leccentrically positioned with respect to its axis. Mounted upon thecasing of the instrument above the disk 127 is a door 130 adapted when oen to give ready access to the interior of t ie instrument. Journaledupon this door as withina bearing 131 is a spindle 132 having thereon'a-disk or face plate 133 on which is formed a rounded projection 134adapted to iit within the recess 128. Eccentrically po- 4sitioned indisk 133 is a round-pointed screw 135 adapted when the door is in closedpositien to enter the recess 129 above described.` It will thus be seenthat with the door 130 in closed position, the disks 127 and 133 form asecure and yet readily detachable connection between the spindles 126and 132. Fixed upon the latter spindle is a crank 136 provided with ahandle or knob 137 for purposes of ready manipulation. This crank, whichis referably of resilient material, is provided) with a locking lug orprojection 138 adapted normally to press against a locking plate 139 andto tend -to enter recesses 140 positioned about the circumferencethereof. This plate is provided with a series of openings 141,preferably siX in number and corresponding in size to an opening 142formed within the The relative positions of card engaging members 117and 118 is determined by means hereinafter described.

The method of use of the above features of our invention issubstantially as follows: Assuming that it is desired that the cardgripper-s 117 and 118 occupy a certain position with reference to theprinting wheels 37 and 4C, the crank 136 is rotated so as to shift thesemembers, which are connected as hereinafter set fortli into the desiredposition by means of pinion 125.and rack 123, this position beingreadily found by rotating the crank until the opening 142 thereinregisters with an o ening 141 disclosing matter indicative of theposition which it is desired that the card engaging members assume. Inorder to rotate the crank136 it is necessary merely that the same bedepressed so as to prevent the entry of the locking lug 138 within therecesses 140 until the crank has reached the desired position, whereuponit 'is released and automatically locked in such position as abovedescribed.

If it be desired that the card engaging members or grippers occupy thesame lateral position relative to the rinting mechanism throughout 'aconsidera le period of time, and it be desired that they be locked insuch position in such manner as to obviate the chance of the same beingmoved without permission, this result may bev attained by 130 as byscrews 144 and slots 145.

the following means: Referring now to Fig. 6 of the drawin slide 143secure tothe inner surface of door slide is bent at one end so as toform the finger-.piece 146 and is flanged as shown at 147 so as to enterradial slots 148 cut about the surface of disk 133.

By means of the above-described lock, if it is desired that lateralmanipulation of the card engaging members be done away with the door 1301s unlocked and opened and the locking slide 143 thrust within the slot148 corresponding kto the desired lateral position of record card. Door130 is then closed and locked by any desired means and lateralmanipulation of the members 117 and 118 prevented.

Recurring now to the gripper 117, the same is provided with a strip 149secured thereto as by means of screw '150 and having at its free end aflange 151, slotted as shown at 152 and assing over the end of the strip121 above escribed. The latter member is slotted so as to form a slidingjoint with the flange 151, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings. A spiralspring 153 is secured to stri s 12]. and 149 and ten s normally to drawt e card engaging members 117 and 118 toward one another. Within strips121 and 149 are slots 154 and 155 through which passes the rod 28 bentlas shown at 156 in Figs. 5 and 6 of the drawings. This rod normallyengages one end of the slot-155 at its bent portion `156 and the freeend of the rod passes through the slot 154 in strip 121. Slots 154 and155 are thus held out of-alinement by the rod 28, the s ring 15.3 thusbeing stretched and the members 117 and 118 being held apart so as topermit the ready entry of a record card therebetween. If it be desirednow that the record card, being within the receiver, be held against themember 118 so as to be accurately positioned with respect to theprinting mechanism', the rod 28 1s thrust for# wardly by hand lever 2and arm 26, thus forcing the straight ortion thereof within the slots154 and 155 ringing these openings more nearly into alinement. Spring153 is thus permitted to draw the member. 117 toward the member 118 andgrip the card during the printing operation.

It will be ap arent that the card grip ers 117, 118 may besimultaneously move by means of the crank and rack heretofore referredto, said grippers being so connected by means of the sprmg 153 and theslotted connection 152 that the gripper 117 moves with the grip er 118whenever the latter is manually sh ted. It is only when the movement ofthe rod 28 throws its inclined portions in such position to permitspring 153 to draw the gri per 117 toward the gripper 118 that the saigrippers have movement relative to each other, 1t being understood thatin the there is shown a looking` This specifically pointed out or willbe a over, although compact and simple, is never--A theless adjustableand the parts are so formed and arranged as to render readilyaccessibleall ortions of the instrument'.

he above illustrative embodiment of our invention embodies manyadvantageous features, some of which have been herein from the matterherein set forth,'an others of which can be appreciated only by thoseunderstanding the severe conditions of tical use which this instrumentis well a apted to withstand. 1

As many changes could bed'made in the above construction and manyapparently widely dierent embodiments of our invention could be madewithout departing 'from the scope thereof, we intend that all mattercontained in the above description or shown the accom anying drawingsshall be inparent terpr-eted as il ustrative and not in a limitingsense. We `desire it also to be understood that the language used in thefollowing claims is intended to cover all of the generic and s ecific.features of the invention hereindlescribed and all statements of thescope of the invention, which as a matter of language, mi ht be said tofall therebetween.
